I have been having problems with my upstairs neighbors parking and blocking my steps. I have spoken to the LL and they have been asked to park in back But they never do. He even left a note on my car the one time I park there. It said "This is MY SPOT my wife is pregnant and I live on the 3rd floor.". Well they recently moved down the floor and she's pregnant not handicapped. (I have seen her going for jogs and walks and I hear here exercising upstairs).
Well any who. I parked at the steps today. I was only going to be there for 15 minutes. I needed to pack my car as we are going away overnight. I am here alone with my kids. So I didn't feel like being 30 feet away from my inside door in case they needed me...
So I hear my baby crying. I come in to check on her (lost her toy). I WAS going out to move but then I hear my neighbor come in and "stupid bitch parked in my spot again". So I said fuck it I'm not moving now...I hear him stomp upstairs and stomping around. I hear his door slam and then him stomp back down I think he is leaving...Nope...he knocks on my door!!!!!!!
Convo is as follows...
Me: Hello, can I help you?
Him: You parked in my spot.
Me: I said really? Your name on it? If I remember correctly um no one is supposed to park there. I WAS going to move. But I feel like being a stupid bitch.
Him: I told you thats my spot my wife is pregnant.
Me: Yep, pregnant not handicapped. And you used that excuse for when you were on the 3rd floor. She can walk and extra 15 feet to the stairway. But speaking of handicap if you want to go that road. I am the one who has a special needs child and a 10 month old. I don't mind walking the extra few feet. In fact I WAS gong to move but I needed to pack my car and I didn't want to be to far from my kids.
He starts to say something agian and I say...
Me: Wait a sec lets call attorney David (house was recently taken over by the bank, my uncle is the banks lawyer) oh wait I mean My UNCLE attorney David. Hold on, I'll get my phone.
He said whatever and walked away. My uncle told me to not take shit from him and I'm fed up. I am fed up with the music and vacuuming and cleaning at 1am. I am sick of him blocking the steps so his NOT handicapped wife doesn't need to walked 15 extra feet.
And go ahead tell me I am overreacting. You dont life here. You dont know what its like and what I live with daily.
I hate when people use pregnancy as an excuse for shit. Most women have no limitations while pregnant. If she is a fatass, then walking the 15 extra feet is good for her.
Good for you for standing your ground.
So this parking spot isn't really a spot right? It is just a space by your steps in front of your apartment?

I say...GOOD FOR YOU!! He has no right doing that...like you said it doesn't have his name on it. I'm pregnant too and I could walk the extra 15 steps. You did nothing wrong! He's the jerk!!

I feel your pain! Yesterday my neighbor had a few friends over, and one of them parked right in front of my driveway! As if that's not bad enough, they then proceeded to leave for 5 hours with the car still completely in front of my driveway! We wanted to go somewhere (our military base had fireworks last night), and so we had no choice but to drive our car over her yard to get out! I just don't understand how some people have no ability to use common sense... I think some people just live to get in arguments and simply don't care about anyone but numero uno!
Off topic, but ProudMommy ~ I'm Christa too! Had to mention, because it doesn't happen much, most I meet are Christina, Christie, etc...
I've lived in apartment settings and had problems with parking spots and icky neighbors. I know it is frustrating! I lived in a condo and my next door neigbors used to park right in front of our door and then cuss and complain when we did the same. Ugh!
I don't really get it though. You got mad and complained that they were parking in a spot that shouldn't be used but then it's ok for you to park there? Maybe I'm reading your post wrong, but it sounds like either no one should park there or iyou should agree for it to be on a first come basis.
I think, I wouldv'e done the same thing. Like you stated she's pregnant not handicapped. Stand your ground.
